Until recently, ‘Fitness In Post’ was an oxymoron, but not anymore. People in post-production spend countless hours learning new software and spend thousands of dollars keeping up-to-date with the latest hardware innovations, but what we neglect is the most important tools we have: Our brains and our bodies. Fitness In Post is a long-term lifestyle approach to fitness and wellness designed by editors for anyone in the post-production industry who’s tired of low energy, brain fog, moodiness, and wants to not only survive in this industry but thrive.

Kt Isabelle Weber has been doing motion design, animation and voice acting for 8 years, first with Daily Planet and Harpo Studio in Chicago, and for the past 3 years as a freelancer with a variety of studios in Los Angeles. She's currently art directing and animating a feature length documentary with local studio Engine Room.

Kt will be talking about a recent football-inspired spot she collaborated on with Tennessee based motion designer Brad Magnus, discussing how she used Element 3D to speed up her workflow. Specifically, she'll talk about how to customize and animate your models in Element./top
